Aligning the motor on 06' GT

[NY_SXR700]

Since most everything on this sled is a PITA to do. I am guessing aligning the motor is just as bad. Just for fun I put the center-2-center tool on my 06' GT today. Well..... it's way off. What is the procedure to move a motor on the Apex. Doug

Hi Doug,

You need to loosen the rear motor mount (remove the long bolt goes from side to other) and on the brake side there is a threaded keyway that allows the motor to be pushed in the rear side to side you will see it when you look in there. It takes a huge flat head screw driver and you rotate that insert in or out depending on which direction you want. from your pict it would appear you need to rotate it in as it will move the primary forward.

You can loosen the front motor mounts if it doesn't move but you shouldn't have to. There is no other adjustment.

So how often do these motors come out of allignment??? both my apex's have not been checked, belt life is amazing, so never thought it needed it... other than hot clutchs, and wierd belt wear is there any other symptoms that should be looked for???

So, there is one big #*$&@ bolt that goes from one side to the other on this thing? Ill have a look at the parts list to have a look at that.

OK, a quick look at the parts blow-up helps a lot. So, we have a long bolt that inserts from the PTO side. Also a mount in the front on each side (3 total). I can take it from here as long as nothing on the bottom holds it in place that I can't see. Thanks, Doug

The long bolt at the rear should only be adjusted if you took the motor out and re put it back,take the engine put it to the left and tight the adjustment on the right side.No adjustment on the left side for the rear long bolt.

If you just want to adjust center to center play with the front adjustment and move the engine to right side to enlarge the gap between the primary and secondary.When its done check offset ( 15mm +- 1mm ) adjust secondary by remove or add shim on shaft.

I noticed that my belt was riding a little low in my secondary, even with two washers/shims in the secondary adjustment screws, upon checking my center to center on my sled, I noticed that my clutch tool wouldn't set down on the secondary shaft, as it was apprx. 1/8" too close to the primary. First off, can the clutch center to center be adjusted with the sled intact, or is this procedure something that requires tearing into the sled quite a ways? Does anyone have any pictures of what has to be adjusted exactly, as my sled is an hour away from me at the moment, and just trying to get a game plan together. Thanks in advance...
